Oh dang, never would I have thought my little DSTAR guide that I made in an English class would have helped a general class operator! I’m glad to know it helped and I hope to see you on the air! And if your signing on to the Albuquerque DSTAR net on Thursdays, maybe I will!
Howdy. I’ve owned an id51 for about 10 years and only this week decided to build a hotspot which is working very well. My ID51A doesn’t have reflectors option on the screen like yours does. Do you know if there is a more up to date software version? What version of firmware does yours have? 73 de Alan ZL4FM
Howdy, I'm not certain if this'll answer your question, but my CPU is version 1.02 and the DSP is version 1.01. I got my radio January 2020 if that helps too.
@@911Hammer makes sense to me. I got my license back in 2020, but I haven’t joined a club and I don’t have much occasion to use my radio, so I’m still very new to it all. I’m always surprised when people find this video I made for an English class and they find it useful.
@@jjrneptune Hi James. Got to a place I can type. Ok what I have is a couple of Hotspots 1. is an Openspot 2 and the other is a TGIFspot. They are set up to do DMR and Dstar. On the TGIFspot it is depending on the mode coming in to the hotspot. On the Openspot2 you have to change the Profile. Lets take the TGIFspot. I am on 432.700 simplex. I am set on the XREF002 Reflector. So I don't know how to set the radio up and how to get to all the alphabet I have to add after my call to get to where it needs to go or how to link and unlink or basically where I want to go. I heard the XRefs are better than the Refs. I guess that would be so with X equalling Extra? Is there a list of talkgroups oops there I go with DMR. Well what ever the Japanese equaliviant is.I never like Japanese manuals either. How do you do a typical conversation in Japanese oh I mean Dstar on an ID-51. I know there are suppose to be shortcuts. When I was in Illinois Chicagoland areas a friend who had a couple of Repeaters in Gary, IN wanted to convert them to Digital. We started out going to convert them to DStar. The equipment for the client side was so expensive traffic took a horrific hit! so We switched it to DMR. At first Brandmeister setup a talkgroup for the area. Once the code plug was written away you went. Well a bunch of people from New York Pirated our Talk Group and my friend go mad so we took it to C-Bridge. Things were smoother. When moved here the guys were wanting to go UHF digital I convinced them to go DMR right off. Didn't want to get into Radios costing as much as HF rigs again. Anyway I had an Icom IC80 from days in Illinois and then bought an ID-51A plus 2. Wanting to get on DStar with a hotspot. I started with a Jumspot it lasted about 3 years, before that I got an Openspot1 for DMR. That worked I don't remember how it was set up in the IC-80AD but I used it to check into the North Colorado Hotspot Devices net. until the jumspot died. I bought the openspot 2 for traveling back to Illinois and set profiles to go back and forth between DMR and Dstar. Having know Idea what reflectors to use. I don't on one that will take me a year to disconnect from. So there I am the Hotspots are up how do I set up the ID-51A Plus 2? Oh, my email is macmikeal (at) mac (dot) com.
Howdy Maurice, I’m sorry a video I made for a class a year ago wasn’t helpful for you. I was merely tasked with making an instructional video, and this was one of my earlier drafts. I in no way intended for it to gain traction, and as such I’m terribly sorry it has confused you further. DSTAR can be tricky stuff, and it’s not always for everyone. I hope you can find a more helpful video and that you have a good rest of your evening. 73s KI5HSH.

James - Your guide was very helpful . Your presentation and video has really helped me understand my IC 51 A \

Thank You! Very Helpful.....73 Marc NC4X; Dallas TX.... I use the Icom ID-52A.

Is all o that written down anywhere?
You don’t need to say your call sign to ID. Your digital id (MyCall) is meeting the FCC requirements for ID’ing.
Huh, learn something new every day
@@jjrneptune Think of it just like you don’t have to SAY your call when using CW, RTTY or any of the digital modes.
